yay! the show at cornell was lots of fun. xiu xiu are very nice people. so are all the awesome cornell kids i got to meet! this picture (click to see full size) and one of the new ones over in the images section were taken by j perelmuter, who coincidentally was our first black molly drummer (you can see old school pictures such as this one over at the old black molly site). wow! also, hear mp3s from the show over in the sounds section! how about that!

Check out this poster!!!!! Josh pointed me to the fanclub collective website, where I snagged the image off of their message board. It was made by Daniel Knapp. And check out how I'm billed. I don't know why on earth they put Josh on before me. Maybe they think I'm mysterious. In any case, how super exciting to be playing a show for lots of people I don't know. I haven't done that since freshman year of college, unless you count the open mic Josh and I did in Madison last summer. But, feel free to come on up to Ithaca if you like.

a good show tonight at bar matchless! a fun place to play. thanks danny kelly for setting up the show. john kessel and jim and lydia played also. they are all quite good.
miss anneth had a sore throat but was able to sing on three songs. josh and i did a duet cover of a lois maffeo/greg moore song. and casey played on two old songs and one new one. fun!!!!!
check out our new (in-progress) bitches bio and a funny picture of me and ann.
<--- this flyer (for our next show!) was made by casey holford. josh is actually playing after genan, not the other way around.

good morning!
lots of upcoming shows in the month of march! well, three. two in the nyc area as DREAM BITCHES, and one SOLO SET at cornell university (opening for josh malamy and xiu xiu)! check the shows section for more details.
tomorrow is leap day. yoko and ann of dream bitches will be going on an adventure to the borders of the city. maybe you will catch them lurking in the corners of the subway cars. maybe you will hear them in your headphones as you cross the street and one headphone falls out of your ear (if you have those kind). oh, and don't forget to go to superfine (126 front st, dumbo, brooklyn) tomorrow night to see miss nan turner perform an experiment.

The Dream Bitches will be opening up the 2004 Winter

their vocal stylings will not leave you disappointed.

this half-hour, our part-time cohorts: Mr. Josh Ian
Malamy (who will be opening for Xiu Xiu at Cornell
University in March), Mr. Casey Holford (also playing
the festival later in the week!) and Ms. Nan-Ling
Turner (of the ensembles known as Pantsuit and
Schwervon!) As you can tell already this is going to
be an action packed start to a rock infused Festival.
Also playing the same night: Barry Bliss, Prewar
Yardsale,
JAYMAY, John S Hall, Schwervon!, Rav Shmuel,
and Phoebe Kreutz.
This Saturday, February 21st

a new show! thanks to miss nan for scheduling it: jan 16th at 7 pm, with pantsuit and kansas state flower at the parkside lounge! i can't friggin wait. there WILL be special guests.
